Re: The WORST...
Me ex's mother was a real peach, she NEVER had ANYTHING kind to say to me. I really am unable to single out any one thing that stood out. Hmm...during the wedding, she told one of my guests that she looked like a hooker (and she didn't), she ragged on my guests about how they dressed and how many gifts they brought, and she carried a picture of another woman around with her and showed it to everyone, lamenting that she had truly wished her son had married this other woman instead. One of the most insane things this woman ever said to me was, "You have to call me Mother from now on, because I am now your Mother. You don't have your mother anymore, she no longer exists, not since you married my son." Can we say, psychotic?
Oh, and just to add to that, my new husband's mother is an absolute doll
I am truly lucky to have her (and my current husband) in my life!

"Your cous cous salad could really use some walnuts."
I went out with my ex-bf for two years and his mother was awful to deal with. He lived at home at the time and was a real mama's boy, so unfortunately I had to deal with her a lot. I still to this day think he broke up with me because of her influence. She was a master of the "backhanded" compliment..."Oh! What a pretty dress! It would look great if it weren't a little too tight," lol.
I was coming over for Thanksgiving dinner and asked her 2-3 weeks ahead of time what dish(es) I could bring. I also asked what I could help with when I arrived that day. She insisted nothing both times...but then of course complained almost constantly (before and after) about how much work Thanksgiving dinner was. My b/f said she liked Riesling wines, so I brought a bottle of that for her. Her reaction? A look of horror as she scornfully said, "Why did you bring this? This isn't the wine I drink!" Well, pardon me! I didn't mean it to replace your usual BOX OF ROSE' that you had planned the meal around.
